Recap
Big CatThe NFL should require the highest-drafted quarterback to start behind Ryan Fitzpatrick for three games
They should make a rule that whoever drafts the highest quarterback has to start Fitzpatrick for at least three games at the start of the season. So like Trevor Lawrence when he goes to the Eagles, [Fitzpatrick] should have to start for them.
PFT CommenterTrey Lance will be a first-round NFL draft pick
Trey Lance is going to be a first rounder probably... This mock draft I'm reading right now has Trey Lance late in the first round to the [Saints].
Picks
Big CatI will cut off the tip of my pinky if the Houston Texans win the Super Bowl this year
If the Houston Texans win the Super Bowl this year, I will cut off from the nail up tip of my pinky left hand. It's on.
Interview
Neil deGrasse TysonIntelligence is better defined by curiosity and problem-solving than by memorization
I submit to you that most challenges in this world are best served not by someone who memorized the encyclopedia but by someone who has a deep sense of curiosity and tools to empower that curiosity to figure stuff out.
Neil deGrasse TysonSuggesting humans are the only life in the universe is inexcusably egocentric
To suggest that we're the only life in the universe would be inexcusably egocentric... Recognizing the likelihood of there being life in the universe is not the same thing as agreeing with UFO enthusiasts.
Neil deGrasse TysonRussell Wilson's controversial lateral was physically legitimate in the reference frame of the runners
In the reference frame of the quarterback and the running back, it was a legitimate lateral. From the reference frame of the grid, the ball moved forward. But you're penalizing players for running fast. I think as long as Russell Wilson stayed ahead of the other runner while he threw it, the spirit of a lateral is being preserved.
Andy StaplesLSU's roster depth will prevent them from falling off a map despite losing starters
They do have some really good players coming back because they recruited well... You'll be able to see how deep their recruiting has been in the last few years because they're going to roll out a 2D defensive line that they feel very comfortable with. I mean they've got talent, it's not like they're going to fall off the map.
Andy StaplesMike Leach will have the most talented roster of his career at Mississippi State
This is still a better roster than from a talent standpoint than Mike Leach has ever had either at Texas Tech or at Washington State... smart quarterback [Costello] can come in and learn the Air Raid. I do think they're going to come along pretty fast.
Fyre Fest
Billy FootballBill de Blasio changed his name to sound Italian so he could win in New York
He changed his name to sound Italian so he'd win in New York. He was born Warren Wilhelm... He changed his name to Warren de Blasio Wilhelm in 1983 and finally to Bill de Blasio to honor his maternal family, bullshit.
